Abstract Two supposedly closely allied species of swiming crabs, Charybdis smithii MacLeay, 1838, and C. omanensis Leene, 1938, are compared. The two species differ in many carapace, chelipedal, abdominal, thoracic sternal and gonopodal characters. Swarming in Charybdis smithii is again reported, and feeding on krill is suggested as the reason for this unusual behaviour.

Introduction Collections by the Japanese research vessel Family Portunidae WAKADORI-MARU off the Arabian Sea recently ob­ tained specimens of a swimming crab which was Charybdis omanensis Leene, 1938 swarming near the surface. A study of these speci­ (Figures 1,2) mens showed that they belong to Charybdis smithii MacLeay, 1838. As there has been some discussion ?
